If I use a phone that has no sim card in but just the battery in the phone and go camping woud I be able to use the D link to connect to the internet?

I answered before, but in checking the documentation, if you have a compatible 3G/4G USB adapter with an active SIM card plugged into the D Link and you are within your ISP's coverage area, then yes.

Assuming the camping site offers Internet access, then you can connect the D-Link Router to the Camping WiFi Internet and then connect all your WiFi devices (Tablets, Laptops), including your SIMless phone to the D-Link Router to access the internet. However, I am a camper myself, and have not found any Camping sites which offer WiFi Internet access yet! :)

No, I do not think so. It needs to connect to WiFi or an Ethernet connection.

Well if you have an unlocked phone it is basically a iPod till you get one. I don't see why it would prevent you from logging onto the device.

The only way this will work is if the campground has either wired or wifi Internet access.

I use the router for my home phone which is a regular cordless phone with 4 phones total used throughout the house and it does not have a sim card so I don't know that it is necessary. I've never tried using the house phone with no sim card in my cell phone or with an inactive account. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Two options: - Either it becomes a wifi hotspots (Direct Wifi) which indeed would not let use browse the web. - Or, and that's the intention, it joins your existing wifi network and your devices (mac, iPhone, etc...) can connect it on the local network and can still browse the web. In most case the direct wifi mode will only be used once to set it up. Connect to it and, through the app, configure it to join your wifi network.

I don't think so. The idea behind this is to buy a pre-paid SIM card with data/Internet access from a wireless carrier. When hooked into a usb port it will provide that computer access to the Internet over the wireless providers network.

Regardless of what phone you get if you want to use any internet you will need a 3g/4g plan unless you are around a wifi-hotspot. If your asking if its required to have a internet plan then no. Some carriers tend to say it is a requirement if you own a smartphone but that is not true. The phone should not allow you to connect online on their network without a internet plan don't let them fool you its a sales tactic.

You can use a sim card. So if your carrier's is a sim card carrier you can use to get Internet.

Yes that means you can use the sim card for the device since wifi is not common in the countryfor your internet

No this phone does not need internet to operate, although you can have internet on a US Cellular plan, you can also access a wireless network to have internet on this phone.

No this phone does not require a telephone system or internet. You plug it into a standard phone line just like you would any other land phone.

Siffert the question asked was if the phone would work with wi-fi without a data plan, not whether it would work where there is no wi-fi. The person wanted to use it at home on their wi-fi network without a data plan which from what AT&T; customer service says the answer is yes you can access your wi-fi without a data plan. You only need a data plan to access internet when not around a wi-fi connection.

There is a place to plug in a SIM. It just needs power to work, and will broadcast wifi with any power. so even a usb wall charger will power it. If you plug into a laptop the computer can connect directly through USB.

If it's on the Virgin Mobile network you don't need a sim card. I have used it as a wifi only devicce when I couldn't pay my bill.

You don't need any data plan or internet connection to use its GPS function. I have one and I used it without any extra service or plan and as a side note the graphics are very good and it works flawlessly.

You won't need "internet" but you'll need the base station and a wireless network. Your phone or the remote you can but will connect to it locally using your wireless network.

There is no internet connectivity that I'm aware of. It has a usb port and a slot for a SD card, and the dc power connection, no battery. No wifi capability.
